Berating people for doing something you yourself term as "e-peen value", only undermines your own argument, to a point of nonsense.

Can I ask why you are on a forum for overclockers and "extreme" systems, if you feel it is no more than a "e-peen" thing?


well then... why dont you go buy a 4 socket mobo and use 4 opteron ... xs has a group buy for those ... more power for your use that no oc'd dually could give you ... and i heard they are cheap too .... so one more argument as to why you would oc a server mobo besides e-peen ...

There's more to extremesystems about having the most expensive setups. In fact the most impressive ones (outside of the guys who have access to the best products+cooling) are generally the builds that were low in cost but heavily modded to have top level performance. I think that's the true nature of XS; just like extenze it's not about having the biggest one in the world, but rather maximizing what you got.

Ohh and I totally deserve bonus points for linking XS to extenze in a positive way

exactly ... overclocking's true nature was to take cheapo cpu's and make em give a run for their money to big top bin cpu's .....
